As a longtime independent democratic socialist I am appalled at how FASCIST has become the WOKE " progressive " Democratic Party . The very pillars of WOKE in the mainstream news media and in the Democratic Party are secular, anti-CHRISTIAN Zionist Jews. And oddly enough they do not apply Critical Race Theory to APARTHEID Israel. And presently they seem to be cheer leaders for nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia over the glorious cause of a " sovereign " Ukraine led by that puffed up NATO " hero " war mongering president Zelensky.
It does seem that the FBI is prejudiced against pro-Life Americans . From my 2019 blog :
It does seem that the FBI is prejudiced against pro-Life Americans . From my blog back in 2019 :
[And talk about being emotionally deranged : a transcript of the FBI lovers , Lisa Page and Peter, has Lisa saying how much she HATED the religious anti-abortion marchers. And also they hated Romanians ( of all people ! ).
'[In private texts recently made public, FBI “super-agent” Peter Strzok and his mistress, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, were quite candid. Their open disdain for a wide variety for groups including Italians, Russians, Romanians, gypsies, Virginians, Texans, and pro-lifers should surprise no one. The leaders of their party have been saying the same thing in public for years. ] '
Clearly the now oh-so" politically correct " American ruling class hates and despises most of the human race. What catechism - secular or religious -instructs the FBI's finest ? Is Ayn Rand THEIR Harpy Pope ? ]
As a longtime independent democratic socialist I cannot take seriously anybody in the Democratic Party who would self- identify as " socialist ". What working class people really need in this country is a mass Labor Party completely independent of the American ruling class.
Note that " socialists " seemingly attached to Democratic Party rarely make SYSTEMIC criticism of capitalism. They focus on those " fascist " Republicans and their " deplorable " base of voters ( often blue collar working class CHRISTIANS ) .
These phony socialists are just another tool of Corporate America's TWO PARTY SYSTEM of political control.
Hear any ANTI-WAR voices in the " progressive " Democratic Party lately ? No, they are all lock-step in favor of the Pentagon's deranged plans for nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia !
Why does the so called " Far Left " refuse to see the obvious : secular , anti-CHRISTIAN , WOKE Zionist Jews are the very pillars of daffy IDENTITY POLITICS in the nation's colleges and public schools. They are very prominent in the Joe Biden administration and in the " progressive " Democratic Party . Curiously they never apply Critical Race Theory to APARTHEID Israel.
Traditional " liberal -socialist " Jews are silenced or smeared as " self-hating " Jews . Must I include the popular science writer Isaac Asimov and the historian Howard Zinn ?
Belligerent ZIONIST Jews control " public opinion " on Ukraine-Russia war
As a longtime independent democratic socialist I am puzzled why so called " far LEFT " groups fail to see the obvious : belligerent ZIONIST Jews control " public opinion " on the Ukraine -Russia war. And they seem to be concentrated in the administration of corrupt , stupid, senile , " Sleepy Joe " Biden:
[The war in Ukraine, according to the US media
" Nuance is being lost – stifled even – in US media coverage of Ukraine. Plus, the influencers touring war-torn Syria.
Demonising not just Vladimir Putin, but Russians in general, is ridding media in the United States of context that is pertinent to the coverage of Ukraine. Not only is the context missing, but it is being stifled in some cases of American coverage. " ]
Will once again stale- " make the world safe for democracy "- Wilsonian blather sell nuclear World war III to ordinary working class Americans ?
The CAPITALIST ruling class governments of NATO are playing a very dangerous game - playing Russian Roulette with nuclear World War III . All these imperialist and former colonialist powers - completely alienated from their own working classes - pretend to be so humanely concerned with a " sovereign " Ukraine . Our mainstream news media - highly influenced presently by belligerent ZIONIST Jews - thinks that stale Wilsonian- " make the world safe for democracy "- blather will bamboozle the masses into support for another very stupid war. As if a SUFFERING American ( from what ? you name it ! ) working class will be all more pro-war !
As if OUR plutocracy , our CIA , DEEP STATE , Pentagon War Crimes Machine , were on a higher moral level than Vladimir Putin and his Russian oligarchy .

As a longtime independent democratic socialist I have read quite a lot about the nature of FASCISM and of fascist movements. My good friends and neighbors and family members who favored Donald Trump and conservative Republicans in the presidential elections of 2016 and 2020 definitely do not qualify as storm trooper " deplorables ". Are white CHRISTIANS consigned to Hillary's " white trash " list ?
It does seem that the WOKE " progressive " Democrats are closer to "ANTI-FA " FASCISM than ordinary working class Americans fed up with totalitarian IDENTITY POLITICS.
Are conservative Republicans presently censoring ANTI-WAR views ( how many working class CHRISTIANS are slobbering over " sovereign " Ukraine and its war mongering NATO puppet Zelensky ? ) on social media and the mainstream news media ? For decades now the " liberal " Democrats have been scorning the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. What a whiff of " OUR democracy " Joe Biden's administration is giving the country !

I read Ron Kovic's harrowing biographical book " Born on the Fourth of July " and saw the movie starring Tom Cruise. But where is the ANTI-WAR movement today ? How can our generation that protested the Vietnam war not be super-cynical about a stupid war for a " sovereign " Ukraine ? Within the Democratic Party today ( September 2022 ) there is not a single voice raised against a coming nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia . Supported in the mainstream news media with stale once again " make the world safe for democracy " Wilsonian blather . " When will they ever learn .. when will they ... ? "
The TWO PARTY SYSTEM is useless -is good for nothing - for ordinary Americans
Corporate America and their servants in the government are always free to raise their salaries and the prices of FOR PROFIT commodities and services .. But the WORKING CLASS are nowhere free to adjust their wages even to the cost of living . And elderly people living on social security can never keep up with monstrous INFLATION.
The TWO PARTY system is useless - is good for nothing - for ordinary Americans.
In this very Democratic state of Rhode Island show me who is excited about corrupt , senile , stupid , " Sleepy Joe " Biden ? David Cicilline ?
Reverie of Roger William Junior high school circa 1962
My memories of this school go back to the year 1962. Then it was called Roger Williams Junior High School. The front view of the building on Thurbers Ave. - those four tall columns - always reminded me of the architecture of those splendid government buildings in ancient Rome. By the way I studied FIRST YEAR LATIN there and FIRST YEAR ALGEBRA and yes, there was also a class in ANCIENT HISTORY. In vain I tried to concentrate on " Ivanhoe " in the English Literature class. Funny I was nicknamed " Wamba " after a character in Sir Walter Scott's novel. Later in life I got around to finishing " Ivanhoe ".
I recall GYM CLASS followed by hot showers in the shower room. Then a hot lunch ( for $.35 ? ) : a favorite of mine was fish cakes with mashed potatoes and gravy , string beans and Butter Scotch pudding for dessert.
I went to Roger Williams at the same time as my younger brother Ray. We laughed at the popular music back then which could be heard on any of those transistors radios that were coming out . Crazy lyrics like " You'll be happy for the rest of your life if you make an ugly woman your wife .. get an ugly woman to marry you " . And Pat Boon's now very politically incorrect " " Speedy Gonzales " : "You better come home Speedy Gonzales, away from tannery row.
Stop all of your drinking with that floosie named Flo! ". I think the song " Monster Mash " also came out at this time: " I was working in the lab late one night when my eyes beheld an eerie sight .. "
A pillar of ORDER back then was one DONALD W. OLIVER ( later a public school official ) On my very first day at Roger Williams he spotted a kid with ATTITUDE . My legs were crossed in the auditorium . " Are you comfortable ? " he shouted in a very irate tone. When I replied " Yes " he evicted me from the auditorium . Later on Oliver and I got along just fine.
I enjoyed striking out at soft ball games in that large recreation field behind the school.
One day a light went on in my head in the ALGEBRA I class. After that I excelled in high school mathematics [ something connected with " factoring " - the F-O-I-L method ?] .
A pleasant arrangement of pumpkins and plants at my brother Johnny's beach cottage off Point Judith Rd. Design by Johnny's girl friend Chelsea . Saturday family and friends celebrated brother Michael's 65th birthday. A beautiful early fall afternoon and evening. We spotted what looked like a meteor streaking through the clear night sky. A happy omen ?
Italy goes fascist ? On all continents the permanent crisis of global capitalism is bound to produce FASCIST movements
As a longtime independent democratic socialist I think that the face of " It Can't Happen Here " FASCISM is more recognizable in the WOKE " progressive " Democratic Party led by corrupt , stupid, senile " Sleepy Joe " Biden . For decades now the " liberal " Democrats have snarled at the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. They promote BRAINWASHING in the nation's public schools.
Amusing that so many WOKE " progressive " ZIONIST Jews in the Democratic Party do not apply their Critical Race Theory to APARTHEID Israel. In Israel Biden shakes hands with corrupt Benjamin Netanyahu . He is not a racist fascist, Netanyahu ? Ask any Palestinian !
On all continents the permanent crisis of global capitalism is bound to produce FASCIST movements.
In collusion with belligerent ZIONIST Jews " progressive " Democrats promote the HATE RUSSIA, New McCarthyism
In all nation state countries ordinary working class people do not plan wars and do not start wars . History shows that they can and will end them. Are young Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 all excited about fighting for a " sovereign " Ukraine ? Does our American plutocracy, OUR CIA , DEEP STATE , Pentagon War Crimes Machine , operate with more lofty ideals than Putin's Russian oligarchy ?
The mainstream news media in the United States is just as lying - and even more war mongering- as Pravda in now POST-COMUNIST Russia.
To be sure, CAPITALISM is just as rotten in Russia as it is in " OUR democracy ". In contrast to Putin's Russia is it HAPPY RECRUITING TIME for the American military ? A vast suffering American working class and a once stable American middle class in INFLATION free fall are all excited about a " sovereign " Ukraine ? Encourage their military age children to turn their healthy young bodies into ground hamburger or radioactive ash for the glorious cause of a SOVEREIGN Ukraine ?
History shows how capitalism in crisis looks for foreign foes. For years now those " progressive " Democrats have promoted the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism in collusion with belligerent ZIONIST Jews.

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez - a real SOCIALIST has no business fulminating in the Democratic Party !
Alexandria Ocasio Cortez should find a less opportunist anti-capitalist organization to work within than the hopelessly WOKE , war mongering , labor betraying Democratic Party. This party will reform professed left-wing radicals much more thoroughly than they will ever reform the Democratic Party.
Presently there is not even an audible ANTI-WAR voice in her " FAR LEFT " Democratic Party.
For more than 100 years real democratic socialists have never stopped explaining the need for an INDEPENDENT party -free from the direct pressure of Corporate America, of the American plutocracy .
An American Labor Party could resemble the British Labor Party but a lot less HOUSE BROKEN !
James P. Cannon on the plight of the white collar unemployed
Editorial Notes
The White Collar Unemployed
(May 1931)
Written: May 1931.
First Published: The Militant, Vol. IV No. 10, 15 May 1931, p. 2.

While the prolonged unemployment of millions of workers and the drastic reduction of standards for the entire class, are rapidly maturing the conditions for an enormous development of the proletarian class movement, the process is being assisted and supplemented from another quarter. The evil days which have fallen upon the professions, the small business people and the “white-collar” stratum of employees will undoubtedly have a considerable influence, even if it is primarily a negative one, in narrowing the gap between the working class movement of America and its industrial development.
Like every crisis, but on a far wider scale, the present one has the effect of hurling vast sections of these intermediary classes down into the proletariat. In the further entrenchment of big capital, and the more economical organization which ensues, the great bulk of the victims will be permanently displaced. Even more important: The chances for workers to climb into these preferred positions are correspondingly restricted.
In the American Mercury for April there is a graphic account of the ruthless swath which rationalization, spurred on by the crisis, has cut through the white-collar division of industry, from clerks to high-powered salesmen and junior executives. Many of them are dispensed with permanently as part of the waste that scientific management has learned to avoid. A whole army of people whose incomes ran into five figures are on the industrial scrapheap. Brooks Shepard, the author of the article, speaks of “former top-sergeants, lieutenants, and captains of industry” who have come to the end of their tether and face the stark problem of existence which but yesterday seemed pleasant and secure.
There are no statistics on the curtailment of professional incomes, but we know in a general way that it has been severe. Occasional news items and reports throw a revealing light on the situation. “I know lawyers with first class training and experience who are starving “ said Justice Jacob S. Strahl at a meeting of the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association in Brooklyn. “One of them is reduced to peddling razor blades ... Another was arrested recently for selling tomatoes without a license.” So reports the Times for May 6.
In the hey-day of imperialist prosperity the class movement of the workers was undermined, among other things, by the opportunities for individual escape from wage labor created by the exceptional circumstances The workers’ movement was systematically robbed of its natural leaders and almost the whole class was poisoned with the psychology of individualism, fatal to class solidarity. The lesson to be read in the present plight of the white-collar elements is the closing of these avenues of escape from the proletariat, and the increasing insecurity of those who have already attained such positions.
A prolongation of this state of affairs will redound to the advantage of the labor movement. The more futile the hope of individual emancipation appears, the stronger will grow the determination of the ambitious worker’s to rise with the class. Individualism will be replaced by the class psychology of the proletariat. This development will be an important factor in liberating the unbounded energies of the American workers for the revolutionary struggle.

BREAKING NEWS , Sept.23 : STOCK MARKET FALLS BELOW 30,000 !
Of course, it is just plain inconceivable that either the Democrat or the Republican candidate for Rhode Treasurer would show a hint of critical thinking on the WORLD crisis of the capitalist system ? The Ivy League colleges in the USA just mass produce professional enemies of the working class yearly . Advise the average working class person in Rhode Island - now barely able to pay the rent or the mortgage - where to wisely invest their disposable income ?
It is not that these Democrats and Republicans are not nice , decent people ( who would just fall in love with your dog ) . But they are so clueless and out of touch with ordinary people.
BREAKING NEWS , Sept.23 : STOCK MARKET FALLS BELOW 30,000 !
Corrupt , senile , stupid , " Sleepy Joe " Biden anointed by Corporate America to be our next great war time leader ?
Given Ukraine's long time cultural and language ties to Russia Putin's referendum is probably no more of a farce than most elections in the United States carried out under the umbrella of the TWO PARTY SYSTEM ( both parties completely controlled by different sectors of the capitalist ruling class, of Corporate America ).
Why do WE THE PEOPLE in the USA not have a referendum FOR or AGAINST nuclear World War III with Russia & China , or FOR or AGAINST another stupid , endless American imperialist war, this time in Europe ? Are we about to anoint the CONQUEROR of AFGHANISTAN , corrupt , senile , stupid . " Sleepy Joe " Biden ,to be our next great war time leader ?

When I first looked at her that EXUBERANT infant facial expression read : " I'm here ! " And yes you are indeed. And what a blessing !
Lately she likes to make up stories and tell them to Steve , Sue, and Uncle Nicky . When we left her house on a 4th of July week evening she quickly ran to a window to wave good bye to us in Steve's car.

Our nuclear arsenal -indeed our military industrial complex - is highly inflationary !
As a longtime independent democratic socialist I recall the long years of passionate protest against U.S. war crimes in the Vietnam War. Contrasting corrupt, stupid , senile , " Sleepy Joe " Biden and " OUR democracy " with Putin's Russian oligarchy and post-communist national catastrophe gets a little ludicrous.
For more than a hundred years American foreign policy has been all about respecting and defending " sovereign " countries around the world ? The corrupt mainstream news media will never succeed -with stale Wilsonian blather - in getting the CHRISTIAN American working class all excited over nuclear World War III with POST-COMUNIST Russia . Once again " make the world safe for democracy " ?
Also our nuclear arsenal -indeed our military industrial complex - is highly INFLATIONARY !

On Talk Radio 630WPRO Rachel Miller is characterized by callers as one of those FAR LEFT WOKE Democrats perhaps allied to the Bernie Sanders " socialist " wing of the Democratic Party. To be sure ,there is nothing wrong about identifying with HAVE NOTS and the racially and ethnically oppressed in American capitalist society. But as a long time independent democratic socialist I am annoyed by a news media which is willfully ignorant of ABCs of SOCIALISM and just what constitutes a MARXIST point of view. Orthodox Marxists would have nothing to do with years of fanatical IDENTITY POLITICS on the so called Left. It seems that in the year 2022 even the Chinese Communists have forgotten the very language of Marx's " Communist Manifesto ". And none of their POLITICS can be connected with the Engels classic " Socialism -Utopian and Scientific ". In general the " progressive " Left in the United States and around the world - since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991- has self-lobotomized on the subject of CLASS STRUGGLE and CLASS consciousness. IDENTITY POLITICS has filled the void. Believe it or not the world famous " I AM PROVIDENCE " horror writer H.P. Lovecraft at the time of his death in 1937 was very much a democratic socialist ( supporting Norman Thomas ) NOT any white supremacist FASCISM . I doubt very much if Rachel Miller will begin to discuss the crisis of American capitalism in the 21st century and apply SOCIALIST insights to decaying , depressed, almost hopeless PROVIDENCE , RHODE ISLAND in the coming years.

["The message of this group deserves condemnation, but silencing their speech is, ultimately, a dangerous and counter-productive way to respond," RI ACLU Executive Director Steven Brown wrote in a letter to the library. ]

WOKE Democrats have made traditional CHRISTIANITY all but anathema in " OUR democracy "
The talk of Talk Radio today ( September 20 , 630WPRO , Gene Valicenti , Tara , and Matt ) was the wacky ILLIBERAL LIBERAL WOKE counter demonstration outside the William Hall Library to a presentation by an informed speaker on the dark side of introducing controversial sex-transgender views to CHILDREN yet unable to understand adult sexuality. An attack on INNOCENCE and ancient CHRISTIAN views of the sacred family directing the moral instruction of the child.
I speak as a long time independent democratic socialist not a MAGA Trump Republican. The WOKE Democrats - so many WOKE activists being secular ZIONIST Jews - have lost touch with ordinary Americans and have made CHRISTIANITY all but anathema in " OUR democracy ".
Should this collective lunacy be rewarded at the polls come November ?

Biden's press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre seems right out of George Orwell's 1984 " Ministry of Truth "
I was listening to " Red Eye Radio " early this morning and Eric and Gary made this point : that the LIBERAL news media never fact check Karine Jean-Pierre . She herself is a monster of deceit and misinformation. It is just not WOKE to challenge the Twilight Zone " facts " of a black woman ? I am not a conservative Republican . I am a longtime democratic socialist convinced that the " progressive " WOKE Democrats are greater threat for " It Can't Happen Here " fascism than the MAGA Republicans .
Often Karine Jean-Pierre seems right out of George Orwell's 1984 " Ministry of Truth .
Malcolm X " suggested that Jews were the chief exploiters of America's blacks " ( author Bruce Perry , 1991: " The Life of a Man Who Changed Black America "
[To be sure , Black Muslim Malcolm X spoke harshly about Black-Jewish relations in the United States . Read " Malcolm's ambivalence toward, 196-197 , " Malcolm The Life of a Man Who Changed Black America " by Bruce Perry, 1991 : " He [ Malcolm ] suggested that Jews were the chief exploiters of America's blacks.... " He was unimpressed with the fact that many Jews were members of the NAACP ; he said it was comparable to Jesse James joining the trustees of a bank he intended to rob. ]
If the mainstream news media is determined to brand Minister Louis Farrakhan -or anybody else - an anti-Semite , the accused should just keep talking FACTS . Like this , for example : The pillars of science illiterate " WOKE " in the nation's public schools are invariably secular , anti-Christian, ZIONIST Jews. And ironically they never apply Critical Race Theory to APARTHEID Israel. In his biography Malcolm X came to the conclusion that " liberal " Democrat Jews were mostly false friends of Black people. Way back in 1965 Malcolm X made a connection between racism and capitalism, between racism and American imperialism. My favorite Malcolm X quote : " Show me a capitalist and I will show you a blood sucker ".
Socialist author Irving Howe passed away with " A Margin of Hope "
As a democratic socialist myself I do respect this wise " old radical " Irving Howe. Much of what he said in this interview is relevant to the Bernie Sanders "political revolution " , the focus on unacceptable economic inequality in the presidential campaign of 2016. But since the time of this interview what did pass for real " democracy in America " has sadly decayed . The country is evolving under the leadership of these neo-Democrats like Hillary Clinton into a militarized police state. Was the leadership of SDS in the late 60s more perceptive about this than Howe ?
I commend Irving Howe for never betraying the ideal of democratic socialism- and setting an example for civilized, literate dissent. Still " A Margin of Hope " ( his political autobiography ) for socialism in the new century.

Anti-war Americans have no home with the Republicans and Democrats
by Bekah Congdon on March 13, 2021 in Features
[Last week, President Joe Biden began his second month in office by ordering an airstrike in Syria without receiving congressional authorization. At about the same time, Biden received a US intelligence report that confirmed what has long been known: that the brutal 2017 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi was authorized by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman . Despite the report, Biden failed to hold bin Salman or Saudi Arabia accountable.
Throughout his campaign, President Biden vowed to end “forever wars” and to take a harder line with Saudi Arabia. When given the first opportunity to do those things, he fell in line with what has become the status quo in Washington.]

There was never anything EXCEPTIONAL about American imperialism
For decades democratic socialists and political-legal activists like Ralph Nader have pointed out that our TWO PARTY SYSTEM is controlled by Corporate America . The heated arguments between WOKE Democrats and MAGA Republicans never get to an open and honest debate on the crisis of capitalism- American capitalism and global capitalism. The candidates of both parties are invariably pillars of the military-industrial complex ( ready now to approve nuclear World War III with Russia, China ). They are blind to the fact that the sun is setting on what was hoped to be another " American Century ". There was never anything EXCEPTIONAL about American imperialism.
One difference between the Democrats and Republicans is notable : For decades now the Democrats have scorned the FREE SPEECH, FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. For the past few years the Democrats - not the Republicans - have been promoting the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism. You will not find a single anti-war voice today connected to the " progressive " Democratic Party. No Eugene McCarthys around in 2022 !

Subject: Is Chinese Communism getting preachy again ?
To: Letters, NYT <letters@nytimes.com>
Is Chinese Communism getting preachy again ? To the MASSES ?
If Chinese communism is once again in a preachy mood ( recall Chairman Mao's " Little Red Book " ) for SCIENTIFIC socialism, does this involve recovering the view of Engels in the classic of the communist movement : " Socialism -Utopian and Scientific " ? The early communist movement directed by Marx and Engels was intended to be as evangelistic as early Christianity ( which also had a strong socialist streak ). Do the still entrenched Chinese Communist Party officials - who for decades now have blessed Chinese billionaires and millionaires - have a grandiose MESSAGE for the American working class , for workers of the whole world ? A message like the iconic : " WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE ! " Can that now overcome bourgeois nationalism - " My Country Right Or Wrong ! " ? Overcome American " exceptionalism " as the sun sets on the " American Century " ? Is not socialist internationalism more capable of co-ordinating nation state strategies to combat extreme climate change catastrophe ? Can global capitalism possibly rise above FOR PROFIT mania to deal with this cosmic threat to life on earth ?

The socialist movement can only be revived by building bridges to the world's great religions
The hard truth is that " socialism " in China is not much different from " Stalinism " in Russia in the 1930s. Leon Trotsky wrote brilliantly about " The Revolution Betrayed " before his assassination in Mexico by Stalin's agents in 1940.
Today the mainstream news media in the United States imagines that the FAR LEFT is lurking in the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic Party. You will not find old Bernie wrapped in a red flag hiding under a mansion room bed .
Sad to say but so many Marxist vanguard parties ( self-appointed ) - claiming to be anti-Stalinist in the tradition of Leon Trotsky - have degenerated into daffy personality cults similar to the notorious Church of Scientology with its dedicated army of " Clears ".
The biggest mistake of the old Soviet Union was to declare itself OFFICIALLY ATHEIST not long after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 - an event
that inspired the workers of the whole world.
As a longtime independent democratic socialist - while appreciating Marx's insight into capitalist exploitation and oppression - I think the socialist movement can only be revived by building bridges to the world's great religions - Catholic , Protestant , Jewish , Islam , Buddhist . Otherwise the passion for social justice can degenerate into nihilism and purely destructive mob violence.
MATTER IN MOTION is very interesting but not worthy of worship .
More than 20 years ago I was able to quickly locate a whole shelf full of books in any local public library describing the miserable failure of PUBLIC EDUCATION in the United States. And many books written by idealistic but completely burnt out teachers who left the profession ( especially in New York City schools , in Chicago schools , in Detroit schools ) .
To be sure , the Providence public school system should make the TOP TEN in " ABJECT ".
What really does surprise me is that modern computer technology - once the dream of popular science writer Isaac Asimov for SELF-EDUCATION- is not competently and creatively used to get kids actually EXCITED about learning . Famous Astronomer Carl Sagan observed that kids are naturally curious , almost natural born scientists , until the age of 10 or 11. When I was that age WE were stimulated by the buzz and national anxiety of the 1957 Russian Sputnik. The message : " WE NEED MORE SCIENTISTS ! " .
Computers now make PERSONAL educational goals as reasonable as old national goals.
There is just no need for public education to be a boring torture for millions of working class kids . They can learn quickly that KNOWLEDGE IS POWER immediately ! That is what MOTIVATES !
Could future Providence mayor Brett Smiley be the Woodrow Wilson type ?
As a democratic socialist I find it ironic that Brett Smiley is goated by Republican opponents as representing those ELITE people ( we socialists call them the American plutocracy .
But democratic socialism is not about vilifying individuals for being so much wealthier than the rest of us. For more than a century democratic socialists have made the case that CAPITALISM as a SYSTEM is now collectively irrational and threat to human civilization and to LIFE ON EARTH.
Find a " progressive " Democrat - not just a Smiley - willing to discuss the CRISIS of global capitalism in the 21st century ?
Smiley does seem like a very bright young man . I wonder if he is ( not really flattering coming from the Left ) the Woodrow Wilson type ?
Unorthodox ideas can penetrate young skulls with smart brains inside no matter what ELITE has nurtured them . Democratic leaders over 70 are a horror show in general .
Notice how the You Tube censors scratched out the phrase " as Karl Marx pointed out long ago " . Is a Karl Marx quote automatic HATE SPEECH ?
Notice how the censors scratched out the phrase " as Karl Marx pointed out long ago ". Is Karl Marx quote HATE SPEECH ?
Early this morning I listened to an NPR radio station here in New England ( 89.7 ) giving voice to the plight of the people of Puerto desperately trying to survive terrible hurricanes, natural disasters, and government corruption with little help from " colonial " ruler USA.
People self-organized ( always the threat of " socialism " here ) just to keep from starving encounter landlord PRIVATE PROPERTY rights with claims on Puerto Rican real estate ( much abandoned , deteriorating old buildings like the former Social Security Center ) Naturally the bourgeois government as Karl Marx pointed out long ago is very fascist minded and ever ready to serve the interests of Corporate America. Clearly in Puerto Rico it is not diabolic " communism " that has caused poverty , starvation, and hopeless depression. It is old fashioned mean spirited, heart of stone American capitalism and imperialism.
Puerto today could easily become the next Cuba 1959 !
The 89.7 radio program made clear that young -and educated - Puerto-Ricans are now the vanguard of reconstructing that island-nation after years relentless economic, social, and natural afflictions. A lot of the dialogue is translated into English without losing any of its poignancy.

Another censored anti-war comment on YOU TUBE ? Belligerent ZIONIST Jews just doing their job !
It is not irrelevant that " socialist " , " Marxist " Venezuela has been singled out for military threats by capitalist-imperialist America. As Malcolm X put it many years ago : " The chickens are coming home to roost ! " .
How much misery and oppression and destitution in these Latin-American countries that have been plundered by U.S. imperialism ? That certainly explains Fidel Castro's heroic revolution in Cuba in 1959 .
The WOKE Democrats never even talk about a crisis of global CAPITALISM , about the sun beginning to set on the American Century.
Does the American plutocracy think millions of oppressed people around the world are just going to quietly die, quietly starve ?
Invariably a capitalist " democracy " in crisis - on the brink of GREAT DEPRESSION - finds a foreign foe to vilify. For years now the Democratic Party has promoted the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism .
Can they sell this stale Wilsonian blather to the wretched American working class and to a once stable American middle class now in INFLATION free fall ? Come November ?
Have you had a whiff of " OUR democracy " lately ?

Racist Jack Sarver and the WOKE Jews
[Sarver was born in Tucson to Irene and Jack Sarver. Sarver is Jewish.[1] His father was a prominent Tucson businessman, banker, and hotel developer (the elder Sarver built the Aztec Inn, the Plaza International Hotel (now an Aloft Hotel) at Speedway and Campbell in Tucson in the early 1970s,[2] built and operated the Tucson area Howard Johnson's locations, and headed American Savings & Loan Ass'n. as its CEO. ] FROM WIKIPEDIA. How ironic it is that the very pillars of WOKE , of Critical Race Theory in the public schools , are " progressive " Democrat , openly Zionist Jews who never apply CRT to APARTHEID Israel . And do not expect the mainstream news media to challenge them here.

It is hypocritical for WOKE wealthy Democrats to vilify DeSantis for directing desperate , unorganized migrants to more affluent sections of the United States. As a longtime independent democratic socialist I find it obvious, too obvious, that CAPITALISM cannot deal with this humanitarian crisis. Do the WOKE Democrats ever talk about a crisis of global capitalism combined with the sun setting on the American Century ? There is no divine right to control the world. The GOOD EARTH can support every human being on it with dignity.
No , the " progressive " Democrats prefer to focus on ex-president Donald Trump and " white supremacist "( ??? ) MAGA HAT Republicans as the root of all evil in " OUR democracy " ( which they imagine that they own ).
The AMERICAN PEOPLE are not that stupid !
